The Great Resignation has cooled-but what’s taken its place isn’t comfort, it’s caution. Employees are staying, but not necessarily thriving. Welcome to the era of job hugging, where workers cling to roles out of fear, not fulfillment.
As a manager, this presents a new challenge: how do you grow, motivate, and develop your team when external movement is slow and internal mobility is limited?
In this session, you’ll learn how to lead with intention during this stalled season. You'll explore how to spot disengagement early, reframe development goals, and provide meaningful stretch opportunities that upskill your team and reignite purpose. Because when employees stop moving, it’s your leadership that keeps them growing.
